Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the effectiveness of using a new device called the "Episiometer" against conventional methods for performing episiotomies during instrumental vaginal deliveries, focusing on the angle of incision and incidence of anal sphincter injuries.
- - Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 328 women, results showed significantly fewer obstetric anal sphincter injuries (0.61%) in the Episiometer group compared to the conventional group (4.88%), along with a better suture angle post-repair.
- - The findings suggest that using the Episiometer leads to improved outcomes in terms of incision quality and lower injury rates, although there was no significant difference in perineal pain or incontinence during follow-ups
